Update Coronavirus

Following on from the government’s briefing earlier today, I would like to reassure you, once again, that the academy is continuing to follow the latest advice and guidance issued by Public Health England. Please see a summary of this update below:-

 

·         staff, young people and children should stay at home if they are unwell with a new, continuous cough or a high temperature to avoid spreading infection to others. Otherwise they should attend education or work as normal

·         if staff, young people or children become unwell on site with a new, continuous cough or a high temperature they should be sent home

·         clean and disinfect regularly touched objects and surfaces more often than usual using your standard cleaning products 

·         supervise young children to ensure they wash their hands for 20 seconds, more often than usual with soap and water or hand sanitiser and catch coughs and sneezes in tissues

·         posters and lesson plans on general hand hygiene can be found on the eBug website

·         unless you have been directly advised to close by the local Public Health England Health Protection Team, we recommend all education settings remain open

·          

Yours Sincerely,

Gemma Cottingham

Headteacher
